Subtle Silver

Today I'm sharing a makeup look that I've been wearing a lot recently, a quick and easy silver(ish) eye that is subtle enough for day and night, or both. I only used shadows from the Naked 2 Palette and other essentials as black eyeliner and mascara.

1. Prime your eyes with the product of your choice and pack a light silver eyeshadow (Verve) all over your lids. Using your fingers lets you get a better color pay-off.

2. Using a blending brush, blend the edges until they end seamless. You can use a tiny bit of your face powder if you have trouble blending well.

3. With a smaller brush, apply a dark grey eyeshadow (Pistol) on the outer third of your eyes, try making a V shape that fades from your lash line to your crease. Swipe the same eyeshadow on the bottom of your eyes.

4. To deepen up your eyes, use a matte black eyeshadow (Blackout) to concentrate on the very outer corner, creating a smaller V shape closer to your lash line. Try to blend both dark colors together, this will elongate your eyes. Apply whatever is left on your brush on the outer third of your lower lash line.

5. Highlight your inner corners and brow bone with a matte light eyeshadow (Foxy), you can add a little bit of sparkle with a light shimmery eyeshadow (Bootycall).

6. Apply tons of mascara to your upper and bottom lashes. Use a black pencil to tight line your eyes, making your lashes look fuller. If you have small eyes you can either skip this step or just line the outer parts.

**For a little drama:**

7. Apply big false lashes with longer ends, this makes the eyes look bigger. You can also wear half strips or a couple of individual ones, depending on your eye shape.

8. Line your eyes with black liner to hide the glue from the lashes and extend the wing slightly.
